The Power Of Concentration.

believe the men who rule the world are
those who have got the power of concen-
tration- That is not to decry the power Of
word painting. When you wish the people
to see truth you must not spare the coloring.
Iteration and reiteration are the only ways
of getting a ball through the steel plated
brains of bigots. Hit a spot once, they are
mad; twice they shiver and stagger; three
times, they are terrified and say If he hits
there again he'll be through, sure; four times,
and you penetrate But the ball must be
concentrated and solid.
The power and influence of the newspaper
has been Of necessity to teach concentration.
Nearly its whole make up IL tented. One
murder, ten lines; a political speech of three
hours, fourteen lines; the doings of congress
for whole day, half q column; railroad
affairs for the whole United States, itemized
in two columns; editorials short and pithy
and pungent, Everything must be so ar
ranged that you can read at a glance.
This is no trihing matter, dear reader, and
you know it right well Life is short. There
are 10000 English words, not counting 10, 600
slang words. The possible permutations and
combinations Of all these is incompatible.
No author, speaker or writer should under
take to handle words except just enough to
express an exact idea.-G Globe Democrat.

NOT ENCOURAGING TO PEN DRIVERS

Joe Howard Writes of the Inevitable
Poverty of Journalistic Life.
The rich men in journalism are not the best
writers. There are men who would have
shown quite as brilliantly behind the calico
counter, in the button factory or In the
whisky still 1t doesn't make them any less
men because they had the faculty Of money
saving, nor am 1 such an idiot as to assume
for a moment that because a man In Journal
ism or in literary life is rich he il unified
for his calling, but I do contend that the men
who have amassed great fortunes in journal
ism and In literary life are the publishers
rather than the editors and writers. Take the
Harpers for instance. What better illustra
ton could be asked than that Not one ii
them writers They are all rich, but he n
many of their editors and writers have money
to the fore Take the case Of Conant. Al
though he was with the Harpers the grsater
part of his literary life; although he served
them with intelligent vitality, bringing to
their use rare qualities Of mind and Of heart
and exceptional culture, he hadn't a dollar
when he went away, nor has his wife and
family to-day save what they earn by the
happy, felicitous combination of brain and
hand.

THE BOB VEAL" TRADE.
How the rraffic Is Conducted In the
Vicinity of New York.

How the Traffic Is Conducted In the
Vicinity of New York.
March and April are the busiest months Of
the season in the bob veal and jcrled beef
traffic. During these months the calf butch
ers, so called, swarm throughout the dairy
districts, collecting OF the farmers their green
calves, seldom more than twenty-four hours
old, and their skinny, worn out and lettering
cows, that are past giving milk on account Of
old age, or Of the exhaustion and decrepitude
brought ON by stimulating and unwholeseme
feeds. Green calves weigh forty TO fifty
pounds each, and cost the butcher 81 TO sl.5O,
while for the bony wrecks Of the dairy he
pays IS to $40 apiece, according to the ami
mails condition.
In pursuing the traffic each calf butcher
has his territory, through which he makes
regular semi weekly rounds during the caly-
ing season, or from February 70 June /.
This part of the business is carried ON In all
Of the dairy districts within $50 miles Of New
York, without any attempt at concealment
by the traftckers, or any interference by the
local authorities.
Concerning the extent Of the traffic, it may
be stated that in the height of the season from
seven to ten meat cars are run into Jersey
lily every HlbuI, tdtn Car lOeiieu WIN soNei al
tons of the unwholesonc meat. Occasionally
a car load or a wagon load is seized and de-
stroyed by the health officers, but the business
pays so well in the long run that the butcher
or the city dealer can Lose one shipment out
of three and still net handsome profit from
the traffic.
The principal customers for this class Of
meats are the sausagemakers, the canning
factories, the cheap restaurants and the butch
ers in the poorer quarters Of the city. Large
quantities Of the veal are packed and sold as
canned chicken, and it is also largely used in
making Frankfurters. Tie beef finds its way
upon the food market in the form Of canned
corned beef and Bologna sausage, and Of the
soups, roasts, and steaks of cheap restaurants.
Most Of the stuff thus palmed off upon the
public is shockingly unfit for human food and
certain to breed disease wherever freely con
sumed.-New York Sun.

Ice No Longer Reauired,

Science has come to the relief of the large
consumers of ice who are no longer victims
Of the rapacious ice dealers In fact ice is no
longer required in refrigerators, which can
be kept at pleasant or low temperature by
an improvement on the ammoniacal process
Two two-inch pipes are placed in the ice boz
with the ends attached 10 copper tank
where the cold air is generated. The outfit
resembles the soda water tanks that are sup
piled drug stores from central factories, and
the principle is the same. Once a week, or
every day, If necessary, the consumer re-
ceiyes his charge of ammoniacal air, and by
means Of gauge he can produce any temper
AZURE he desires. There is no dirt or waste
water to look after, and the question of short
weight in ice delivery is thing of the past

As the Spirit Wings Its Flight.

At recent meeting Of the Academy of
Science, NJ. Hayem, Of the medical school,
read a paper Of the phenomena noticed in the
head OF an animal after decapitation, with OF
without TRANSMISSION of fresh blood. As soon
as the head is separated from the body the
eyes move convulsively, and a look of wonder
and anxiety is noticeable on the face The
jaws separate with force, and the tongue
seems to be in tetanic state. There appears
to be some consciousness Of what is going on,
but this does not last more than three or -four
seconds If preparations have previously
been made so that the head after separation
continues to receive fresh supply of blood,
the voluntary manifestations persist as long
as the blood supply is sufflcient-that is, for
half an hour or so. When a blood supply Is
furnished after the head has become entirely
motionless, the phenomena are as follows:
Some contractions, very weak and feeble,
take place, especially in the muscles Of the
lips; then some respiratory efforts; reflex ac-
tions of the eye, first weak, then well marked,
but the eyelids remain dropping, the senses
are quite asleep, and no will Is manifested

"beastly prosperity" ~close their houses by

The Sire KinR's', Ointment-

A writer in an English fire paper says the
showmen who perform such wonderful feats
with fire, and announce themselves as afire
kings" and as being fireproof, use an oint-
ment made by dissolving two ounces of cam
phor in four ounces Of aqua vitae, and then
adding two ounces of liquid storax and two
ounces Of quicksilver. Two ounces of hema-
tite, beaten into powder and mixed with the
above ingredients, completes the mixture;
and when it is rubbed on the hands, red hot
iron may be held In the hands and bent
double, or by its use one can safely walk on
red hot irons. II used too often it discolors
the skin. Perhaps some fireman will try it,
though we cannot say that the result would
be satisfactory or not-Boston Transcript.

A CHILD'S SKIN.
Ears and Scalp Covered with ECze-
mat0us Scabs and Sores
Cured by Cuticura.

MY little son, aged eight years, has been ar
Nl tiicted with Eczema of the scalp, and at
times great portion of the body, ever since
he was two years old. IL began in his ears,
and extended to his scalp, which became COW
cred with scabs and sores, and from which a
sticky fluid poured out causing intense itch
ing and distress, and leaving his HAIR matted
and Iifeless Underneath these scsbs the skin
was raw, like piece of beefsteak. Gradually
the hair came out and was destroyed, until
but u small patch was left ut the back of the
head. My friends IN Peabody know how my
little boy has suffered. At night he would
scratch his head until his pillow was covered
with blood. used TO tie his hands beh nd him,
and in many ways tried to prevent his
scratching: but it was no use, he would
scratch 1 took him to the hospital and to the
best physicians in Peabody without success.
About this time, some friends, who had been
cured by the CUTICURA REMEDIES, prevailed
upon me to try them. began TO use them On
the 18th of January last. In seven months
every particle of Tire disease was removed.
Not spot or scab remains on his scalp to tell
the story of his suffering. His hair returntd d,
and is thick and strong and his scalp as sweet
ana clean as any child's in the world can
not say enough to express my gratitude for
this wonderful cure by the CUTICURA REME-
DIES, aud wish all similarly afflicted TO know
that my statement is true and without eXag
